New Delhi: In the wake of Pulwama attack, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, on Thursday, threatened that India would 'choke' the water supply.

While addressing to a gathering in Baghpat in Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday, Gadkari said that the water from three rivers entering Pakistan would be directed towards river Yamuna. He further said that a project is being worked upon to connect the three rivers to further explore the possibilities of transportation in these water channels.

Gadkari’s warning from the Centre comes on the backdrop of the February 14 attack on CRPF convoy in Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir, which resulted in the death of 40 CRPF personnel. A day later, the high-powered Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi had revoked the Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status granted to Pakistan.
